Capriotti’s ready to talk turkey in aggressive expansion push

After three decades of slow growth, Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop is ramping up its efforts to bring its fresh roasted-turkey sandwiches to turkey lovers in new markets.

The 55-unit chain has opened 11 units in the past 18 months, and Capriotti’s has ambitious plans to spread its wings beyond the Nevada and East Coast markets where it has traditionally roosted, said Ashley Morris, chief executive.
